npub1437d992cqszvsnzpuy7jnec2w90dk4tfj57echyahg6ffu9y9t2s9kranm (npub1437…ranm) Thiel sold PayPal to eBay way way back, and while he might retain an ownership stake, I don't think using it for payments supports the war machine (or Palantir) in a significantly more concrete way than using a lot of other products.
Like don't get me wrong, Thiel is an actual vampire, and Palantir is definitely an important part of the military industrial complex, but the connections to Paypal are mostly historical.
